I was moved by many things in making this piece. The inspiration picture was taken at the thoughtfully curated, Frida Kahlo botanical exhibit in the NY Botanical Gardens. The beautiful combinations of flora and herbs of Mexico and the surrounding area really influenced this particular necklace. It is encouraged both by the woman and structure of the plant. The plant appearing spine-like and almost corseted within the flora group of gentle, pastel colors in perfect harmony.

The stones make a singular partnership, chosen for their shape and balance. Each gem is raw, natural, hand-cut and polished minimally to keep the integrity of the minerals. The merging of these fine details produce a distinctive design. Many of these components are fair trade sourced.

Inspiration for this and much of my work is generated from an ethnological appreciation of different cultures. My design esthetic is influenced by primitive tribal jewelry and artifacts' as tiles, pottery, textiles, garments, and the colors and hues within all of them. I relish the ornate details within ancient weaponry and armor and am fortified by history of all genres. I find foods and herbs from different lifestyles throughout the world endlessly stimulating. I'm encouraged everyday by family, music, architecture, nature, and the ecosystems within.
One of my favorite things to do is to go to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC with my amazing son. He now has a love and fondness for the museum experience that is growing close to his mommy's.
Thank you for letting me share myself with you...
